Thich Nhat Hanh wrote prolifically. I especially like the book and chapter he wrote on the Lotus Sutra, which I feel is the guide to personal happiness and world peace. They seem so far away!

But the answer is within. The mistake people make is in seeking them outside. And they get all kinds of push from exploiters.

People are led to the path of hate and retribution, "piling suffering upon suffering"

Like getting yourself out of a hole with a shovel instead of a ladder.

Good for the shovel salesperson. It never ends.
